Customizing Views of Page Properties

Every page has a set of
properties
that can be viewed and edited by users; some are required when creating the page (create view), others can be viewed and edited (edit view) at a later stage. These page properties are defined and made available by the dialog (
cq:dialog
) of the appropriate page component.

Customizing view of page properties is not available in the classic UI.

The default state for every page property is:

hidden in the create view (e.g.
Create Page
wizard)

available in the edit view (e.g.
View Properties
)

Fields must be specifically configured if any change is required. This is done using the appropriate node properties:

Page property to be available in the create view (e.g.
Create Page
wizard):

Name:
cq:showOnCreate

Type:
Boolean

Page property to be available in the edit view (e.g.
View
/
Edit
)
Properties
option):

Name:
cq:hideOnEdit

Type:
Boolean

For example, see the settings for fields grouped under the
More Titles and Description
on the
Basic
tab for the foundation Page component. These are visible in the
Create Page
wizard as
cq:showOnCreate
has been set to
true
:
